What precautions should be taken when driving through water on rainy days? What needs to be checked after driving through water?
When driving on rainy roads or slippery surfaces, please be sure to reduce your speed and drive carefully. Try to avoid operations that may cause the vehicle to become difficult to control and lead to accidents, such as emergency braking, sudden acceleration, or sharp steering. When driving in the rain, defog the car glass in a timely manner to avoid affecting the driver's line of sight.
Special reminder: Driving through water is only for avoiding danger. It is recommended that users do not intentionally drive through water, and definitely do not drive through water at high speeds, to avoid bringing additional safety hazards. In addition, if the vehicle speed is too high when driving through water, there is also a risk of the vehicle's exterior trim and underbody guard panels being washed off.
After a normal vehicle drives through water, it is also recommended that users perform self-checks on the following items. If any problems are found, you can contact the Xiaomi EV Service Center for inspection:
Lightly press the brake pedal (the heat generated by friction can dry the brake pads) and check whether the brakes are working normally;
Check whether the horn is working;
Turn the steering wheel to check whether the steering assist is normal;
Check whether the exterior lights are working normally;
If you find that the vehicle has taken in water while driving on a flooded road, please do not continue to use the vehicle and immediately contact the Xiaomi EV Service Center for inspection.
